Ep 52: Meal Planning Made Easy

With the upcoming launch my newest course, Vibrant Home Academy, I realized there was one aspect of the course I had not talked about much on this podcast.


And I think that’s because it’s not a topic that is generally thought of as minimalist.


It’s that of meal planning.


Maybe we’re not going to cut down on the number of meals we eat each day, but we can be more intentional about how we plan what we eat without it taking forever and costing a fortune.


So, how does one meal plan like a minimalist? The answer is with Capsule Meal Plans!


A Capsule Meal Plan saves you time and money at the grocery store by showing you how to cook with fewer ingredients. In fact, I show you how to plan a full week of dinners with only 25 ingredients (or less)!

It’s kind of like a capsule wardrobe where you mix and match clothes, but I’ve made it work for food to you never have to wonder or dread your family asking, “what’s for dinner?”.


This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

  • how to plan a week of healthy dinners with 25 ingredients or less
  • the simple process that turns meal planning on it’s head
  • how to keep meals interesting, delicious, and healthy
  • why I approached meal planning like creating a capsule wardrobe
  • tips for saving time and money when shopping for groceries
